People from Cassper's childhood neighbourhood also agreed that their town is in a state of disrepair.

@Its_Otee commented:

"There's no beauty in the fallen Mafikeng left. It truly is sad to see. There's absolutely nothing functional. You can't even try to establish anything there because maComrade need to have their cut. Kleptocracy is the order of the day. There's literally nothing left to loot."

@ThoughtBleeding wrote:

"It's worse now during this period, because majority of its population are students. Now it's just an empty city with old aged buildings, actually looking like an unused museum. Especially Mmabatho."

@_DaFaith challenged Cassper to run for mayor in order to renew Mafikeng.

"Run for mayor maybe we can do Fill Ups to reinvigorate the area."
